November 6, 2017This podcast is truly excellent! I love the way each episode gets right to the point... how can you not want to hear it out? The information is expert, very generous with actionable content and most of all... current. Whether you're artist or industry person... If you're in the music market, this needs to be put on your A-list for listening.

Bree Gives Her Best Stuff...

November 2, 2017What I like about Bree is that she gives away her best knowledge and tips. No fluff here. For those of you that have podcasts or YouTube videos, this is a good lesson. Give away your best stuff! It will all come back to you. Ray Naylor
